Isiah Thomas Joins "Fire Isiah" Movement
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who thinks Isiah has been trying to get fired for years - I mean, would you want to coach the Knicks? Didn't think so. When he's not trying to make sense of Isiah's substitution patterns, he can be found scrapbooking at Basketbawful. Enjoy! • Okay, seriousl...

The day you thought would never come has finally arrived: Brett Favre has decided to retire. Let the Craig Nall era begin!...
That's An Okay Snag
WithLeather offers up one of those flying-diving-catch-while-throwing-yourself-over-a-wall-plays, if you're into that sort of thing. Isn't that wall kind of short? When you're a hater like myself, you need to discredit the achievements you couldn't possibly make. As another video of the same catch a...
Felix Pie Out With A YEEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWW
The Cubs have suffered a spate of unfortunate and somewhat bizarre injuries already this spring. Alfonso Soriano has a fractured finger. Jose Ascanio had a bruised face after getting punched in a robbery attempt. Mark DeRosa was hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat. But none has a painful tale a...
Discussing "God Save The Fan"
When we started the Deadspin Book Club, the idea was to cover sports books not just as critics, but as fans. This month we discuss Will Leitch's "God Save the Fan." Obviously this month's book club is a little close to home, since the author is also the editor of this site. I want to make it absolu...
Gus Johnson Hits The Pause Button
This is from a while back, but I feel it buttresses (pause) my claim that Gus Johnson should be paired with Dick Vitale. Sure, they're on different networks and their collective screaming would surely destroy us all. But at least the next time Dickie V. starts a massive Dook fellatefest, there'll be...

Eric Byrnes Can Tolerate Men Staring At His Junk
We haven't heard much from Diamondbacks outfielder Eric Byrnes in the offseason, but we can only guarantee it was something EXTREME AND WHOLLY UNPREDICTABLE! ZIGGITY SWISH! He's back this year, and his Diamondbacks were among the first to be drug tested. Byrnes is absolutely comfortable with the pro...
Yankees-Red Sox Feud Reaches Depths Of A Free Hat
If you haven't been paying attention to Hank "Raul Castro" Steinbrenner's words about the Red Sox in the last few days, congratulations! You're officially aware of the 28 other teams of the league....

Tyson-Holyfield III: For All The Butterscotch
The Shocker Before Matlock! The Scuffle During Shuffleboard! The Rumble For The Hoverround! Two Guys On The Beach Fighting Instead Of Wandering Around With Metal Detectors! None of these are catchy names, so a third fight between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson probably won't happen....
Georgetown-Marquette Eventually Reaches Exciting Conclusion
I remember seeing who won this Georgetown-Marquette game on TV, but I don't really recall who it was, and more to the point, that's not important right now. While this clip of the final 40 seconds is mind-fondling thrilling, notice how long the clip actually is. Ten minutes long. We were so fortunat...
Baron Davis Was Born To Roller Skate
Twenty two years ago, the Los Angeles Dodgers made a music video that could probably make Skip Bayless speechless. While my knowledge of what was hip back in 1986 might've escaped me — at the time, the more pressing question was why running into solid walls hurt my forehead — I can't imagine Orel He...
B! G! Won! Somehow!
Down goes Kent State! Down goes Kent State! The 23rd ranked Golden Flashes went into Bowling Green and lost 89-83, mainly because Brian Moten and Joe Jakubowski would love to dance with your dates. If you can believe it, Bowling Green basketball has won four straight games against ranked basketball ...

Storming the Floor mentioned this yesterday, and now we have the moving picture evidence of the water bottle heave during the Arizona-USC game on Thursday night....
